what do i feed my clam
i bought my first clam and the store owner told me to direct feed it with bioplankton from a turkey baster is this what i sould be feeding it
it's in a 44gl pentagon tank under 175w mh and 40w atinic it's opened up nicely but i think i might move it from the bottom of the tank to the middle for more light what do you think i'll post picks soon |

What type of clam and what size? From what I understand, the small ones (<2") rely on feeding more than light. Some people take the small ones out a few times a week and place them in a cup of tankwater with phytoplankton in it. The larger clams don't require this.
I was using bioplankton but just recently switched to DT's. DT's is live vs bioplankton which is dead and frozen. They probalby both get the job done though. |

For a clam to die that quick it was either almost dead to start with or something in your tank killed it.

What bubble?
Calcium too high? What was the calcium level anyway? I agree you should find out the cause of the clam dying so quickly rather than going out and buying another. |

Not trying to be mean but the word you are looking for is "IGNORANT".

it looked like it had blisters all over it and the calcium level was about 1000mg the whole tank crashed the night before but i couldn't get the clam out because he attached himself to a rock he was doing graet for about 2 weeks and then this all happened so keep you "ignorance" coments to yourself
